Hmm, I am attempting to make an Minecraft Theme for My Minecraft Server's Forums. So I am trying to do it as Quick as I can so it is easy to navigate. And You don't learn without asking questions.

You don't need to understand much about the template system. Just some basic CSS, then you can edit the global.css file and gradually get better and learn more.

Nah. Know the template system better. it will help to develop more unique designs.

Well yes of course knowledge of the template system will give your theme a unique style and design. But for a beginner, it is not necessary to begin making your own "theme" whether it be simply some changed images and css.
